I am all in favor for a rule requiring mutual funds to provide after tax
data. I understand the SEC is proposing that the data be calculated using
the highest tax bracket of 39.6. Vanguard provides this information on its
funds at each tax bracket. THerefore, it must not be that hard for all funds
to do this rather than just basing it on one tax bracket. Investors in lower
brackets might avoid some funds that would be good investments for them if
they overestimate their potential tax burden by only having the calculations
based on the highest bracket reported.
Sincerely,
Dawn Stahler
